Sullivan’s Island SC is probably the area’s most desired public beach communities because it’s not gated, it’s quiet, and it has its own little town feeling where you can drive your golf cart around once on the island. Mount Pleasant, the close suburbia town just on the other side of the Ben Sawyer bridge is close enough that the homeowners of Sullivan’s Island can get off the island for a night on the town, bite to eat at a nice restaurant, see a movie, or go shopping without any hassle. Prices for homes on Sullivan’s island start in the $500’s for a small virtually never available condo to well over $5 Million for beachfront homes on Sullivan’s Island or waterfront property. Don’t get too excited as there are only a few condos on the entire island. Once considered one of the most expensive per capita places to live in the U.S., Sullivan’s Island homes rarely come to market because the demand is so high, and thus property values remain high, and oceanfront homes usually only total a few at most on the market at any given time.

EDISTO ISLAND BEACH
The furthest away from Charleston, Edisto is between Hilton Head and Charleston. It’s the least developed, and more quiet of all the SC beach communities, and still offers owners a nice standard of living for the coastal lifestyle.
